Bellow originally wanted to publish the book as a story or serial in a magazine such as The New Yorker , but his agent had trouble selling it to any magazine. Bellow, instead, chose to publish it as a book, and it was his first book to be published in paperback form, which was something highly unusual for a book written by an erudite and respected author. Bellow himself said on the television show Good Morning America that the book had the quality of a hardcover book, but lacked the requisite number of pages and, hence, was published as a trade paperback. Plot Clara Velde is a successful fashion writer in New York City and the star of the story. The book s title refers to the disappearance of Clara s prized emerald ring. Clara associates the ring with her love for the Washington, D.C. politico Ithiel and with her own professional and personal power. The ring s apparent theft leads Clara into a series of psychological crises and forces her to confront a long buried complex of interpersonal issues.

Unreferenced date August 2009 Refund theft , also known as refund fraud , refund scam or whitehouse scam , is crime which involves returning goods to a retailer in exchange for money or other goods.The goods returned may be stolen, or they may be damaged goods recovered from a dumpster. The return provides cash or an exchange for more desirable items. Other schemes involve sealing weights or other simulated merchandise in the original product packaging, or switching labels on items to purchase them at a lower price and then returning them for their original value. Combating refund theft While a popular scam in the past, refund theft has become more difficult to accomplish due to digitalization and the ability of stores to easily keep databases of all sales and refunds. Frequent returns Many stores will automatically flag a customer who returns over a certain number of items within a set amount of time. Footage of the flagged customer is reviewed by the Loss Prevention department, who will memorize the suspect s appearance and check to see if any thefts have been captured on video. Section limit In order to combat theft, in instances where store credit is given without a receipt, the credit can be section limited . For example, if someone returns children s clothing without a receipt, they will get a credit that can only be used for children s clothing. Serial number Some stores apply unique serial numbers to their items, embedded into the bar code or hidden elsewhere. If a serial number on an item to be returned does not match the serial number on the receipt, the store can refuse the refund. This technique is often applied to DVDs and video games, not only to prevent piracy but to prevent customers from simply obtaining a refund using a receipt and a similar item picked up in the store.
